Corrections and clarifications

In yesterday's sport quiz we stated that Barrow in 1955 was the last team from outside the old Yorkshire and Lancashire boundaries to win the Rugby League Challenge Cup (page 12, Sport). In fact at the time Barrow was a part of Lancashire. But Workington Town in 1952 (in what then was Cumberland) does meet the case.

An article yesterday mentioned Skegness's regeneration project, aimed at "enticing the crowds from nearby Scarborough" with new flowerbeds and picnic benches (Barton's Britain, G2, page 5). While for Skegness residents Scarborough may loom large as a competitor for visitors, it is around 100 miles by road.

Our obituary of Geoff Seymour mentioned a 1980 advertisement for Cockburn's Special Reserve port set on a Titanic-style lifeboat, for which Seymour devised the screenplay. In the ad a lady, finding that the ship's captain has saved a bottle of port, inquires about petits fours; the actress who delivered the line was Rosalind Knight, not Damaris Hayman as we said (18 March, page 35).

• This article was amended on Wednesday 8 April 2009. The correction above wrongly included Widnes (Cheshire) as among the correct answers of yesterday's sport quiz. This has been corrected.
